La nuit des musées

Museum night yesterday: a number of museums were open free of charge until midnight. I followed a guided visit of the excellent Angladon museum, had a quick look at some Roman and Egyptian relics at Musée Lapidaire and finished the night at musée Calvet where a talented and fun loving seniors jazz band gave a fantastic gig. The original plan called for music in the museum's gardens but rain forced band and public to retreat indoors. The lively spirit of the evening wasn't dampened one bit.

Nuit des musées hier : j'ai suivi une visite guidée de l'excellent musée Angladon, ai fait un tour rapide au musée lapidaire et ai fini la soirée au musée Calvet où un groupe de seniors débridés nous a donné un fabuleux concert de jazz. Le projet d'origine prévoyait un concert dans le jardin du musée, mais la pluie a forcé public et musiciens à se retirer à l'intérieur. Cette péripétie n'a nullement entamé l'enthousiasme des uns et des autres.

I didn't take my camera with me so I used the http://www.dumpr.net/ website to frame a couple of my pictures and insert them in a museum setting. Great fun !

Je n'avais pas emporté mon appareil photo alors j'ai utilisé le site www.dumpr.net pour transformer des photos à moi en oeuvres d'art. Très amusant !

Et non, je n'ai pas vu Michel Drucker, ni à la télé ni en vrai. J'ai préféré sortir. Je regarde très peu la télé.
La photo des coquelicots a été prise hier matin (entre deux averses) et celle des cerises mercredi - voir mon billet précédent)

And no, I didn't watch the TV show, I rarely watch TV anyway. I chose to go out instead.

The poppy photo was taken yesterday morning in between two showers and the cherry picture dates from last Wednesday - see my Thursday post)

Wow Nathalie. You are so clever. Almost had me fooled. I wish I knew how to do thinks like that but I'm still having trouble inserting links into text!

Pat said...

At first look, I was excited to see such a great poppy (and later when I scrolled down, cherries) in the museum. They should be there! Vive www.dumpr.net, which I have bookmarked to play with.... :<)

Belle trouvaille, dumpr.net et tes photos s'y prêtent bien ;)

Jilly said...

Well, I'm bowled over by what you've done with these photographs. Maybe all of Avignon is an illusion! Only kidding. Am so impressed. I must look into that website you mention but am sure I wouldn't get my head around it.

Thib said...

Excellents, ces montages ! Bravo !

jilly and mme benaut, the dumpr.net website is incredibly easy to use. You browse and select from your photos the one you want to put inside the frame, then click on the museum setting you prefer and the computer does the rest. Et voilà! Give it a go, you'll love it!

Ah, Haaaah !

Remember the photo I posted once, showing me with Jacques Chirac and Dominique de Villepin.
Well, now that you have told us your secret, I must tell you mine; I'm sure you will remember it.

I had had my photo taken with the then, Australian Prime Minister at a particular function. Madame took the shot. Then, mon ami, Herr Schaussengraben, transposed the faces of John Howard, and a Senator who will remain nameless, for the French gentlemen.

It was a bit of fun at the time; but not half as clever as your little trick, Nathalie.

Well done. I sort-of feel, cleansed, now, mais je ne pourrai pas me le pardonner ?

Bonjour Nathalie,
I don't know where you get all those addresses but this one is a lot of fun!...
Thanks for the tip.
Your cherries found the perfect spot there!!

Bonne idée et beaux résultats.

Kim said...

You fooled me again, Nathalie. I was about to leave a comment on how much I like the scale of the two women in front of the huge floral art work that I viewed in the thumbnail, and it wasn't until I scrolled down to the second photo and saw your mouthwatering cherries that I realized it was some photo fun! Those cherries, BTW, and their blossom photo from months ago are truly wonderful. Cherry season here is starting, but we must pay! ;^)

Super ! Nathalie !
Tu as mixé des oeuvres à toi pour en faire des "oeuvres d'art", c'est ingénieux. Cependant, chacune des 4 était déjà une oeuvre d'art. J'aime particulièrement les coquelicots notamment, et la façon dont les différences d'échelle interpellent.
N'aie pas de regrets, ce que tu as fait est très original / ce que tu aurais pu produire, il y a un vrai travail de création et non seulement un travail de reproduction.

M. CHRISTOPHE said...

Bravo pour le montage de la 2eme photo...c'est très réussi.

Very funny! I was going to comment, before I scrolled down, that I see where you find your inspiration! Clever!

PeterParis said...

Tu ne m’as pas eu ! Je connaissais le « truc » ! … mais tes photos valent bien une place au musée !

Sally said...

So much fun playing around with relatively simple programs like that. of, for more time! (Busy packign here :-)

ichandrae said...

bonjour nathalie

Ma soeur avait sa propre musée d'art et puis elle donait des expositions pour les artistes célèbres de ma ville.Et puis elle disait tout le temps que le cadre de la peinture et aussi important que la peinture.hé hé.
Cet oeuvre est beau mais aussi......

Olivier said...

te voila artiste reconnu de la ville d'Avignon (au fait tu as vu ton ami dans l'emission de Drucker). La nuit des musées est vraiment une tres bonne idée, LE MUSEE d'evry etait ouvert toute la nuit, mais c'etait pas une reussite

Bergson said...

Enfin un daily city blog qui entre au musée ! Bravo !!


Bon pas de dédicace !! Quel dommage

M.Benaut said...

Nathalie, I took some photos of the MARREE MAN and they were visible on the original blog. Here is the link. You may need to copy and paste, or it may open by clicking on it.

Also, you may wish to read what Wikipedia says about «l'homme de Marree». Today it has become very faint and no longer can be seen from the air.

"Marree Man on Wiki."

Tu as vu l'expo Odilon Redon au Musée Angladon ?

Maxime said...

Amusant ! Je me suis fait avoir ...

Flûte, j'ai raté la nuit cette année ; forcément, j'étais perdue au Maroc...
Merci pour ces photos !

Unknown said...

Very cute. :) I love the poppies and cherries photos.

I was just thinking that I had missed a great exhibition at the Musee Calvet! Your photos make the kind of exhibition I like. Did you see the thing with the people singing along to Madonna at the Calvet - it was great!

J'ai cru être revenue à la Collection Lambert, c'est vraiment bien fait et le changement d'échelle transforme les photographies en œuvres surréaliste. Bravo.
